I loved this. Subtle and fun. Wish we knew where it came from, and hope there are more to come.

I also dug the probably-Firefly reference of "sanguine". ;)

With regards to the dollbed logo - is that version the more official logo now or is it still just the five rectangular pods sans the circle and the centerpiece, as in the opening credits? I wonder which would be more recognizable, for unrelated reasons. :P

I know we mock the Dollhouse security but we've only ever seen one person actually break in. (Apart from Epitaph One)
And breaking out? The dolls are programmed not to and the staff are free to leave. Why would they have any more security than any ordinary office to stop anyone getting out?

Back on topic, this is a neat message with Joss's fingerprints all over it.

I thought this was a fantastic way to convey the message Joss wanted to get out to us. It also gave me another burst of hope that, with our proper influence we will see 'Ongoing success to our endeavors not only for the remainder of the current fiscal year, but into the next as well.'

Witty, smart and amusing. Exactly what I expect from Joss, and adore about Dollhouse.

I guess next we'll have a memo from the head of Rossum Dollhouse, Inc. asking about all these weird things that happen in the L-A division. Just as long as Adelle's boss looks like Ray Wise, so much the better.

MoTan's tweeted about that He Wolf video (albeit not the original-still-unofficial one, but the side-by-side comparison with the Shakira vid) so it's pretty much just whatever takes their fancy at any given moment. If it were something tweeted "in character" then I imagine they might have to clear that stuff with someone though, if at all.

I'm just gonna attribute it to clever fan. I don't imagine Fox marketing caring enough to only make an obscure call out to existing fans to do their job for them. Also there's the factual quibbles that Rossum presumably would be the corporate parent that's alluded to as a Fox proxy.

I like that, funny and quite close to the character voice. I don't think Adelle would say "...I, our chief of security, and the board of Rossum corporation itself are..." though, it's less polite (putting the 'I' at the end is better).

And breaking out? The dolls are programmed not to and the staff are free to leave. Why would they have any more security than any ordinary office to stop anyone getting out?

Because they know the dolls can malfunction and because the potential consequences of a security breach are much, much higher than for an ordinary office (all security is ultimately a cost/benefit trade-off).

Alrighty, the official (I imagine) Rossum logo was visible in "Instinct" here and here.

This memo, uploaded by "Doe Holly Sups" - which I am still trying to vet for the cleverosity which I am sure I am just missing - is good, but prolly took advantage of the pod logo that was made available in high resolution to the public here at Virtual Echo.

Although the cast and crew that are on twitter have been doing a pretty good Dollhouse promo blitz lately, they tweet whatever takes their fancy, so I don't think Miracle's tweeting lends it any particularcaché cachet - at least not in terms of its being official.

I just think it's good idea - by a clever fan. (I know I have a chronic case of "logo on the magogo" - but I think its use of the pod is really what gives it away as a fan effort. A fan effort might have used the logo from the show, but I don't think an official promotion would have used the pod logo. Well, at least not one I was running. ; >)

(orangewaxlion: I can't locate what you're referring to as Rossum being alluded to as a Fox proxy. Perhaps my age is finally catching up to me. *sigh*)

Is it just me or did it annoy anyone else that 'she' wrote "each and everyone one of you" (w/ 2 'one's) twice in the memo? That bugged me. You'd think Adelle wouldn't make typos, let alone the same mistake twice.

I may have misstated my point, but I just meant that there are allusions to the corporate parent (Fox) being very supportive. The letterhead is from the perspective of Rossum in the first place which would presumably be the top of the dollhouse chain of companies? Unless they too are owned by the Sheinhardt Wig Company.
